A Neandering Post
Aug. 2nd, 2012 05:24 pmI haven't felt like doing a whole lot as of late. There's some Oz writing I could be doing, but I haven't been in the mood. Yeah, I know writing is all about discipline and sticking to it even when you don't feel like it, but this IS supposed to be for fun. I've gotten kind of bored with Twitter as well, although I occasionally still make comments there. I have been reading the Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter book The Long Earth, which I'm hoping to finish by Monday because that's when it's due back at the library. In terms of blogging, I'm largely drawing a blank on ideas for Oz posts. I have a few ideas, and I'd been wanting to write about the Rain King, a very minor but still intriguing character in the series. I can't find my copy of The Hidden Prince of Oz, though, and that's the only book I know of to have a picture of the Rain King. And in Dragon Quest VI, I defeated Jamirus on the Isle o' Smiles.
The latest Futurama episode, "Fun on a Bun," was better than the last two. It started out with a futuristic take on a holiday, in this case Oktoberfest, and that's usually fun. The plot involved Fry falling into a lost world inhabited by Neanderthals and prehistoric animals that was trapped under ice. Neanderthals were first discovered in the Neander Valley in Germany, so that makes a certain amount of sense. It was funny and used ideas from science fiction, which is what I look for on this show.
